When a new portal is created, the configuration of _IgnorePortalPlugin_ is used to avoid deploying data to the existing ones which are listed in the init-parameters.

To use the plugin in the component configuration, you must use the following target-component:
{code:xml}<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.wcm.portal.artifacts.CreatePortalArtifactsService</target-component>{code}

The configuration is applied mainly in _packaging/wcm/webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/wcm-extension/wcm/deployment/template-deployment-configuration.xml_.

*Sample configuration*:
{code:xml}<external-component-plugins>
    <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.wcm.portal.artifacts.CreatePortalArtifactsService</target-component>
    <component-plugin>
      <name>Add ignored portals</name>
      <set-method>addIgnorePortalPlugin</set-method>
      <type>org.exoplatform.services.wcm.portal.artifacts.IgnorePortalPlugin</type>
      <description>ignored portals. the service will not deploy data to the ignored portals</description>
      <init-params>
        <values-param>
          <name>ignored.portals</name>
          <description>ignored portal list</description>
          <value>classic</value>
          <value>acme</value>
          <value>WAIPortal</value>
        </values-param>
      </init-params>
    </component-plugin>
</external-component-plugins>{code}

In which:

* *Name*: {{Add ignored portals}}
* *Set-method*: {{addIgnorePortalPlugin}}
* *Type*: {{org.exoplatform.services.wcm.portal.artifacts.IgnorePortalPlugin}}

*Init-params*
||  *Name*  ||  *Type*  ||  *Value*   ||  *Description*  ||
| *ignored.portals*|{{string}}|{{classic, acme, WAIPortal}}|The list of ignored existing portals. |
